         This Amendment No. 4 to the Schedules 13D dated March 27, 1997, filed
by The Maclellan Foundation, Inc., R. J. Maclellan Trust for The Maclellan
Foundation, Inc., Hugh O. Maclellan, Jr., Kathrina H. Maclellan, Robert H.
Maclellan, Dudley Porter, Jr., Frank A. Brock, G. Richard Hostetter, Ronald W.
Blue and A. S. MacMillan (collectively, the "Principals") and certain other
persons shown in such Schedule, is being filed as a result of certain changes in
the beneficial ownership of UNUMProvident Corporation ("UNUMProvident") common
stock, formerly Provident Companies, Inc. ("Provident"), held directly by the
Reporting Persons or held by Trusts for which the Reporting Person holds
beneficial ownership.

         Item 4.  Purpose of the Transaction.

         ITEM 4 IS HEREBY AMENDED AND RESTATED TO READ ITS ENTIRETY AS FOLLOWS:

         On June 30, 1999, prior to the completion of the merger of Provident
and UNUM Corporation, each outstanding share of Provident common stock was
reclassified and converted into 0.73 of a share of Provident common stock.
Immediately after this reclassification and conversion, UNUM Corporation merged
into Provident. Each share of Provident common stock and UNUM Corporation common
stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the merger was converted into
one share of the Company's common stock, and the par value was reduced from
$1.00 to $0.10 per share. After the merger, the name of the surviving company
was changed to UNUMProvident Corporation.

         Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

         ITEM 5 IS HEREBY AMENDED AND RESTATED TO READ ITS ENTIRETY AS FOLLOWS:

         (a) Reference is made to the cover page in respect of each Reporting
Person.

         The aggregate amount of shares of common stock listed in Item 11 of the
cover page as beneficially owned by Hugh O. Maclellan, Jr. does not include
62,143 shares of common stock voted solely by his spouse, Nancy B.
Maclellan, of which beneficial interest is disclaimed.

         The aggregate amount of shares of common stock listed in Item 11 of the
cover page as beneficially owned by Dudley Porter, Jr. does not include 18,551
shares of common stock held in the Estate of Mary M. Porter, his spouse, of
which beneficial interest in disclaimed.


                                       12
<PAGE>   13

         The combined shareholdings of the Reporting Persons plus Charlotte M.
Heffner, a Reporting Person and a trustee of the Maclellan Foundation, aggregate
13.5% of the stock after eliminating shareholdings duplicated.

         Each Reporting Person hereby disclaims any assertion or presumption
that it and any other persons constitute a "group" as such term is used in
Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and the Rules and Regulations of the Commission
thereunder. The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed to be an
admission that any Reporting Person is a member of a group, however, if any of
the Reporting Persons are deemed to be members of a "group" with other Reporting
Persons for purposes of Section 13(d), the Schedule 13Ds filed by each such
Reporting Person should be read together as a group Schedule 13D filing.

         (b) Reference is made to the cover page in respect of each Reporting
Person.
